hello.
i appreciate the concern and interest so many people have shown regarding cedarville university in the recent past. we're, like, celebrities - or something.
in all seriousness, though: i don't understand why so many folks on the outside (i.e., people who are not a part of the cedarville administration and thus do not have access to crucial information and records pertaining to the dismissal of drs. hoffeditz and mappes) insist on characterizing these terminations as an attack on a theological position. cedarville faculty, admin, and trustees have assured the media and concerned alumni time and again that the decisions were made based on faculty conduct. no one has produced any concrete evidence to the contrary; the furor surrounding what should have been a simple in-house personnel action is the stuff of myth and the rumor mill.
cedarville has certainly NOT altered its historic commitment to Christian orthodoxy. while students may have more access to different perspectives than they once did, these perspectives are always accompanied with a heavy dose of baptist doctrine. for better or for worse, cedarville is the same conservative institution it has been since the dixon era.
now, please: let's turn our attention to more constructive conversation.

Cedarville's Stance

It is obvious to me through their website and also by being a student there that Cedarville is committed to truth. Just read their statement on their website posted below:
http://www.cedarville.edu/cf/truthandcertainty/
I know of no other university who has gone to the trouble of making a public statement about truth and certainty. Further, I think it is imperative to realize that the Chronicle only tells one side to a, no-doubt, two-sided story.

Certainty despised

In a world full of ignorance and uncertainty, there are few things despised more than a man that is certain.

Well, if you that is strange, check out the 2008 Ntional "New Church" Conference April 21-24, Exponential 08: The DNA of Reproducing Churches with our favorite heretic Rick Warren and Emrgent friendly church leaders, changers and resurrectors. If I am right, I see this as being a way to mass-reproduce Mystical Emerging Churches to assist in God's prophecy of the "Great Falling Away."
I would love Brandon to do a show on this topic.

Is this supposed to be an institution of higher learning or is it a think the way post modernists think type of institution? What a travesty when contracted and tenured professors are being fired because they don't conform to what "post modernists" think. Let me guess,the university president is a BIG fan of rob bell.
